Police Impersonation

ST. AUGUSTINE

Composite sketch released of man who impersonated officer: Detectives have released a composite drawing of a man who impersonated a law enforcement officer when he pulled over a woman for “speeding” Saturday night, according to a St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office report.

The woman, who was driving with her two children, said the man pulled her over using white strobe lights on State Road 207 near Hilltop Road. He told her she had been speeding and took a knife set that was in her car because of “child endangerment.”

The woman drove off when he went back to his car.

She told police the man was white and in his mid- to late 20s, with brown hair and blue eyes. He had no facial hair or visible tattoos. He appeared to be 5 feet 7 inches tall and 210 to 225 pounds.

She also said he was driving a car that resembled a late ‘90s model black four-door Chevrolet Impala, according to the offense report.

If you have any information about the investigation or the identity of the driver, contact Sheriff’s Office Detective Robert Taylor at 824-8304 or Crime Stoppers at 888-277-8477.

Tips from the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office:

Lighting for emergency vehicles is red and/or blue.

If an unmarked vehicle attempts to stop you and you do not feel comfortable, drive within the speed limit to a well-lit area and then stop.

If you still do not feel comfortable, call 911 and confirm with dispatchers that an officer is trying to stop you.
